高考臨近,小編為大家準(zhǔn)備了些高考短語及其用法和搭配,希望大家能從中獲益!

請看下面一題:(from www.nmet168.com)

The operation was successful, but I still felt _________.

A. very painful B. much painful C. a lot of pain D. very paining

此題容易誤選A,想當(dāng)然地認(rèn)為:pain 表示“痛”,其形容詞painful自然表示表示“感到疼痛的”。

其實 painful 的意思并不是“感到疼痛的”,而是表示“使人感到疼痛的”、“使人感到痛苦的”,所以它通常用于說明事物,而不宜用于說明人。比較并體會:

他仍很痛苦。

正:He is still in pain.

誤:He’s still painful.

你感到痛嗎?

正:Do you feel any pain?

誤:Are you painful?

見到你這樣生活我很痛心。

正:I am pained to see you living this way.

誤:I am painful to see you living this way.

聽到他的死訊,我們都很痛苦。

誤:We were all painful to hear of his death.

正:We were all pained to hear of his death.

他眼睛痛。

正:He has painful eyes.

誤:He’s painful in the eyes.
